Which publication describes how the Air Force and Space Force participate in Global Force Management processes?

• A. AFI 10-403 - Deployment Planning and Execution
• B. DAFI 10-401 - Air Force Operations Planning and Execution
• C. CJCSM 3130.06 - Global Force Management
• D. DAFMAN 10-406 - UTC Management

Answer: (B)

Global Force Management participation is defined through the Air Force’s own planning and execution framework. DAFI 10-401, Air Force Operations Planning and Execution, provides the processes for how forces are planned, programmed, prepared, and integrated into the joint Global Force Management cycle. It describes how operation plans are developed, how force packages are formed, and how these plans feed into the joint GFM process overseen by the CJCS. Because this publication specifically shows how the Air Force and Space Force contribute to and operate within the GFM workflow, it best explains the participation structure among these forces. Other publications cover related areas but not the GFM participation scope in the same service-specific way. AFI 10-403 focuses on deployment planning and execution, CJCSM 3130.06 is the joint instruction detailing GFM at the joint level, and UTC management guidance (DAFMAN 10-406) is about unit type codes, not the GFM participation framework.
